Fitzpatrick: No ICE Detention Facility in PA-1

Langhorne, PA-Today, Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick's (PA-1) office received assurances from the Department of Homeland Security, Immigration and Customs Enforcement ("ICE") that they have no plans or intentions of opening an ICE detention facility within Pennsylvania's First Congressional District.

"After hearing from concerned residents, our office immediately contacted U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and we have received assurances that no such facility is planned for PA-1," said Fitzpatrick. "When questions arise that impact our community, we address them directly, establish the facts, and ensure our community has clear and accurate information."

Fitzpatrick added that his office will continue to monitor federal developments affecting PA-1 and will provide timely, accurate updates as needed.

Fitzpatrick reaffirmed his consistent position that no ICE detention facility shall be located in PA-1, and if one were ever being considered, he would oppose those efforts.
